SUMMER 2025
Saturday 18th January 2025
This class will be in the style of
1960’s - 1970’s Fosse stage cabaret
Burlesque invites you to embrace the empowerment of being unapologetically you. In this workshop, we’ll explore the captivating art form of burlesque and celebrate its ability to transform how you move, feel, and connect with yourself. More than just dance, burlesque is a journey into confidence, creativity, and self-expression. It reminds us that every body is a masterpiece and every experience has a story waiting to be told. Through burlesque, we discover liberating, joyous, and deeply nurturing ways to share our stories—all within a supportive and uplifting space.
Held in a stunning studio surrounded by the natural beauty of Bellingen, this one-day experience is a chance to reconnect with your body, shed inhibitions, and embrace the playful, powerful energy of burlesque. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned mover, this open-level workshop invites you to explore your full feminine potential.
The day will be broken down into three chapters:
Chapter 1: Confidence & Embodiment
Learn to ground yourself through movement and embody confidence in every gesture. This session focuses on awakening your body’s innate elegance, helping you move with intention and grace while celebrating your individuality.
Chapter 2: Lines of Desire - crafting expressive movement
Refine your movements with sensual flow exercises that focus on smooth transitions, controlled isolations, and dynamic balance. Strengthen your core, learn to frame your body with precision and elegance, and build confidence in your ability to move fluidly.
Chapter 3: Diva’s Debut - learn a kick ass routine
Bring it all together in a dynamic, empowering routine. This session is about letting go, having fun, and embracing the freedom to express yourself fully. Walk away with not just a dance, but a deeper connection to your inner showgirl. Dance will be cabaret classic all that jazz.
The Power of Burlesque:
Burlesque is about stepping into your power, shaking off societal expectations, and reclaiming your sensuality on your own terms. Through this workshop, you’ll not only develop dance skills but also discover a renewed sense of self-love, freedom, and vitality.
